Currently, src/buffer.h's macros PTR_BYTE_POS and BUF_PTR_BYTE_POS
both cast subexpressions to 'unsigned'. This can't
be right on a 64-bit host, since the subexpressions might
exceed 2**32 if the buffer is large, and their values shouldn't
be truncated to 32 bits.
I can't see why the cast to 'unsigned' is there at all,
even on a 32-bit host; unless I'm missing something
the values being compared are always nonnegative.
So I'd like to install the following
patch into the trunk, after some testing.
